Final answer:

The 3/5th's Compromise counted 3/5th's of the enslaved population for representation.


Step-by-step explanation:

The 3/5th's Compromise was a part of the United States Constitution that addressed the issue of how enslaved people would be counted for representation and taxation purposes. Option a. is correct; it counted 3/5th's of the enslaved population for representation.

However, the 3/5th's Compromise did not end slavery (option b.) or promote the ten equality of all people in the United States (option c.). It was a controversial compromise that benefited the southern states more than the northern states as it gave the southern states representation based on their enslaved population.
